Which way round
Clockwise: Climbs 18% for 680 m early on, comes down 23% for 1250 m midway.
Anticlockwise: Easy first 1.9 km, climbs 23% for 1250 m early on, comes down 18% for 680 m near the end.
Better anticlockwise: you climb the steeper side (2.6 km at 10%+, 2.2 km of it 15%+) and come down 1.2 km of steep ground. Steep descents are where people slip, and they're harder on knees late in a walk.
Main descent: km 6.2–9.7, from 1630 m to 1227 m.
